and all the miners of Cory district are con.
ident in their opinion as to its great value.
There are between 1900 and 1000 tons
of ore already on the dump Of the Monte
Christie mine. The mine looks very well
and everybody about the camp feels rich.
The Georgene mill has been closed for
ten days in order to allow supply of ore
to accumulate. The shaft is being sunk as
rapidly as possible and as soon as the new
level can be opened there will be room
for enough men to work to supply the mill
and keep 1t on full time.

AND now it comes to pass that General
Phil. Sheridan il candidate for President,
or that some Of his friends, at least, are urg
ing him to stand in for the nomination.
Conklin is said to be at the bottom of this
plan, because he does not like Sherman or
Blaine. The man who will put single
straw in the way of James G. Blaine's nom
ination does not know what is good for his
country. and is probably only trying to vent
his personal i'll feeling against the greatest
statesman of the age.

Caught by a Lump of Sugar.
THE MONKEYS FATAL CURIOSITY PROVES
ITS RUIN.

A gentleman who returned. recently.
from Aspinwall, tells the following curl
Gus story of the manner in which the ma
tives of the interior of the Isthmus of
Panama capture monkeys:
almost all the pet monkeys in this
country" said he, 'come from Gorgona,
small village half way on the line of
the Panama railroad. The inhabitants are
mostly native negroes. for no white man
could live in the village month unless
he drank whiskey and took quinine con-
stantly. The surrounding country is
swampy, and covered with a dense mass
OF luxuriant vegetation. At nightfall a
thick miasma rises from the ground and
hangs over the forests like cloud. This
place isthe monkeys paradise. They
travel through the forests in troops, going
wherever the king monkey leads When
the natives have been appraised of the
presence of a troop they 60 about warily
to capture them. Their plan is simple
one. A hole is cut in the shell of a cocoa
nut Just large enough to admit a monkeys
Enclosed paw. The cocoanut is scooped
out and a lump of sugar placed in the
hollow. A string is then attached to this
novel trap and the negroes conceal them
selves until the monkeys pass by. Cur
iositv is one of the chief characteristics of
these little creatures. and when they espy
the cocoanut lying upon the ground they
come down from the trees and proceed to
inspect it carefully. The lump of sugar
does not long escape their notice, and one
OF them thrust paw through the aperture
to grasp it. With the lump of sugar
clasped in his land, he finds it impossible
to withdraw it. nor will his greedy nature
allow him to abandon his prize. The
negroes haye no difficulty in drawing him
nearer and nearer to their ambush, the
whole troop scampering madly about
him, chattering and gesticulating as only
monkeys can. When they have arrived
within easy reach, large net is thrown
out and they are made prisoners. Twenty
or thirty arc often captured at ono haul.

Shanghai and forty from Ningpo, is q

came across a queer old tishmonger al

for sale a most curious variety of oils OBJ

most of which had never heard Of in my

bags. These bags are squeezed beneath
hydraulic presses, the lard like stearine
remaining inside, while the oleine oozes

obtained from the manufacturer by any
one who cares To bring his own receptacle
